Question about ATI and realtime kernel

Right now, I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 64-bit. I'm having major trouble getting the rt-kernel to work with my fglrx drivers for my ATI Radeon HD3850.
So I've been thinking about make the switch to 64studio, but I don't want to do this if I'm just going to run into the same problems. I haven't really found any related forum posts on this, so I would like some advice.
This card seems to run at a full-load without its drivers (it did the same under windows before I installed the drivers there too), so if this isn't possible, then I guess I'll have to find a way to work without the realtime kernel. So your help is greatly appreciated.

I installed the proprietary ATI driver like this, if I can believe Yakuake's history:
64studio:/home/spinymouse# ./ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run
I didn't run any configuration tools, but ATI Catalyst Control Center.
